Beliefs

A curated collection of principles and values that guide my work, decisions, and approach to life.

• The universe defaults to scarcity; the mission is to engineer sustainable abundance.
• Value comes only from solving real problems.
• Iteration beats everything. Keep cycling until reality bends.
• Benchmark the best. Compete with the top or die average.
• Leverage compounds. Always chase code, content, connection, capital, company, etc.
• Being a machine learner beats being smart. Curiosity compounds.
• Always ask your question. Find the right question to ask is key.
• Extreme people achieve extreme results. Work so hard it feels unnatural.
• Extreme discomfort means you’re exactly where you should be.
• It’s hard to be wildly successful at anything you aren’t obsessed with.
• Status quo bias is the enemy. >70% live in permanent slight suffering because they never take a big swing.
• Delete until nothing is left. In fact, if you don’t end up adding back at least 10%, you didn’t delete enough.
• Wanting to be liked is weakness. Fulfillment must come from within.
• Everything is sales. The teacher sells, the leader sells, the orator sells.

I'm always learning and unlearning. If you have a recommendation, please let me know.
